You will kill your stanley right after few months if you run it 24hrs ON.... and i am wondering how this unit could work good with a carbon filter ...?
well 12/12... but yea...its fine, i feel it from time to time dosent get that hot, maybe in a couple months well see...but im pretty sure it will be fine, after all Stanley is a reputable company and its just a fan guy.....

the one thing i liked about the vortex fans is they now come with a 15 year warrant. For now stanley is cheap, affordable, and will push more than enough cfm for me.

maybe one day when i have a little more money to spare ill go vortex. 15 years is a long time to warranty something.

The stanley blowers will push a lot of air until you try and hook it up to a carbon filter. There is no point in growing a pound of weed if the smell is going to be an issue. You will either be busted or robbed before you get to even smoke a bowl.

And no one has mentioned this guy is growing outside in a shed. That shed is just baking in the heat. You need to insulate that shit out of the shed so the outside temps don't affect the inside temps. Whether your shed is metal, plastic, wood, or whatever, the sun is just beating down on it all day. Your growing inside a giant oven.

Get your grow inside your house and you will save yourself a head ache. With out A/C you are not going to get your temps below ambient temps outside. So if in the summer its 100 degrees outside, no matter what you do, you will have at least 100degree temps inside. The more cfm you run the closer to ambient temps you can get, but when ambient temps are already above that which is acceptable, you are in a losing battle.

You either have to get an A/C unit out there, which will require you to run it on a differnt circuit than your other equipment. Or you can move your grow inside and use your central A/C to control temps. And there's always option number 3, just get the plants out of your shed and grow them with sun light.

my shed is insulated. and im positive the temps outside dont affect the shed. no matter how hot it gets out there. i used my shed as a cool smoke room last summer. thats why i decided to use it. the problem is a 1000watt hps light in too small of an enclosed area without proper exhaust fans hooked up. and idont need a carbon filter, my neighbour knows what im doing and she doesnt care about the smell.

iv got my stanley hook to a DIY carbon filter.....outside no smell and not much back pressure on the fan....so yea they can be used with a filter aswell bongbripbob, maybe you didnt make your filter big enough,lol

if your heat issues in your shed are like mine, then i take it you also have humidity issues? especially when it rains

Now I have been told that just because a fan says it moves 250CFM doesn't mean it really does. Because there is no industry standard for testing, plus you add ducting and that resticts the air as well. I would say first enclose your light if you have not already and give it it's own exhaust, but also put a fan right under the light to move the air away as soon as you can. If smell getting out isn't an issue then I would say put vents in the top and bottom of the shed so the hot air will go out and cold air will come in.

I was having heat issues with my 1k MH and ran ducting from my central air through my reflector and my temps went from 100+ deg F down to 70-75 deg. If you have Central ac run it off that.

what do you mean by real exhaust system?
In-line fan w/ carbon scrubber is what the man is talking about (i think?).

Extra equipment for summertime hydro consists of 1-12,000 BTU- A/C, 1-Reservoir chiller, 1-460 CFM In-line exhaust for 2-1000's watt HPS w/ vented hoods / glass. Lights have seperate air intake / exhaust. That's it! I run a 560 CFM in-line Vortex exhaust fan w/ Can Fan 100 2/3 of time in veg. and 100% in flower all year. The Chiller helps to allow room temps to run a bit hotter than normal in summer w/ no side effects.

Good Luck,
DH

actually i dont have humidity problems at all. When it rains they are in the 60% range and when its not raining and on a hot day it doesnt get much lower than 45%. When its dry i put a dish of water next to my plants to get the humidity up.

how would you cover the vents to prevent light leaks?

i know you want around 60% humidity in the first couple weeks of flowering, but after that arent you supposed to have it below 40 down to 15 or so?

how are you guys setting up your stanley blower? i bought one for a closet grow, but room temperature still hits 90+

im growing in a walk-in closet, and everything is set up towards the back
currently, i have the fan sitting next to the light, sucking the hot air from the top of the light, and blowing the air towards the door.
i also have a fan blowing air from the other side of the light towards the intake of the stanley blower to help move the hot air better.
any suggestions?

If you are using a carbon filter, make sure that you have slightly less intake than exhaust. This will keep negative pressure in your cab so the smelly air inside will not leak out. If you have equal intake/exhaust, you have no negative pressure, and all the air inside is able to leak out of your intakes.

these are not cheap, but seem to work really well....

Hope it helps... No AC sounds good... to me...lol...

Update, there is a small quantity of heat exchangers for the top of the HydroGen.

Here are a couple shots of a grow using Ice Boxes , they are working so well that the room can actually made too cold! Remember that you must have the air go through the reflector then blow through the Ice Box , not through the Ice box first.
